1. I stayed here for 4 nights but on night 2, I was already considering booking an actual hotel due to the very scary, very intimidating sign at the lift which says weekly/monthly rental is ILLEGAL. And I worry if the guard will question me or if someone will knock at my door in the middle of the night. Thank god no such things happen, but if you're one to be easily spooked, you may want to consider booking a hotel.
2. If you're coming via grab car, DO NOT let the driver alight you at the basement. Tell them to drop you off outside because the key card is on the ground floor. I made the mistake of simply following a resident up to the second floor and found myself stuck on that floor for 30 min. I could get into the room but I cannot go down the lift because you need to tap a card for the lift to work. Thankfully there was a resident going down at one time so I simply followed him down and managed to retrieve the card.
3. The host takes quite long to reply, about one hour. So if you're stuck like me, you have no way out but to wait. That's annoying and should not happen. They should leave a contact number of a LINE contact for easy comms.
4. I'm not quite pleased with the cleanliness of the kitchenette. On the outside, it looks great and clean, but open the cupboards and drawers and it's less than ideal. I saw small spiders in the drawer below the sink area and decided never to use the kitchenette. It should be spotless, no questions asked, especially if guests book this unit BECAUSE of the kitchenette.
5. The TV is great. But I suspect the left side of the TV is spoilt because it looks darker than on the right.
6. WiFi is fast. Good enough for a Zoom call.
7. Aircon is cold.
8. ALL the vents need to be cleaned. All of it is dusty and visibly so. There's the two aircon vents, the vent in the kitchen, and the toilet also. All these vents are dusty and need cleaning.
9. I didn't use the washing machine so I don't know if that works. However, the door to the balcony doesn't shut properly, so remember to close it the best you can.
10. On my visit, there was construction going on beside the apartment. And it goes on well into the night. If you're a light sleeper, this might be a deal breaker.
11. Bed was comfy. Sheets were clean, but the sides of the bed could be better cleaned. These are the areas I often check even at my own house.
12. Location was great. Closer to BTS, close to malls, close to cool and hip dining places.
